Are You Suffering?





Meta



When I was first diagnosed with HH,

my doctor bled me a bunch for the first months.
300 CCs twice a week. He made me anemic to get

my body to use up the iron that was stored in

my heart, liver, pancreas, brain, etc.

Then he slowed down the phlebs until I wasn't

anemic anymore. He told me to take folic acid.

Because folic acid is needed for cell replication

and growth, rapidly regenerating cells such as red
blood cells and immune cells have a high need for

it. Folic acid is found in many foods, such as
asparagus, broccoli, endive, spinach. lima beans.

Anemia and associated diseases compromise the
oxygen-transport capabilities of red blood cells

and the normal immune function of both red and

white blood cells due to increased adhesion,
reduction, or malfunction.

Scientific study strongly suggests that trace
minerals may act as an adjunctive preventive

therapy to reduce the effect of anemia on normal
blood cell function.

Aging, viral infections, blood diseases, and a
variety of drugs, as well as cancer chemotherapy

and radiation therapy, can cause deficits in red
blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelet
production.

I'm no doctor but I would think being anemic is

not a good thing. Having HH already is very hard

on our bodies. We are 32% more likely to suffer

from stroke and heart attack too.

Weakness and faintness

Shortness of breath

Increased heart rate

Sore tongue
